An Avatar: Legend of Korra fanart of a scene from SavRose's fanfic Of Tea And Comfort, which you can read here www.fanfiction.net/s/8304705/1... xD. It's Broh if you squint?

Maybe I just wanted to draw General Iroh with tea I wanted to draw more Iroh II xD And I really liked that fic And argh it's my first time drawing Bolin, I sure hope I didn't butcher him...

-edit- OTL several people have said that Iroh looked like Mako. Ugh Mako. xD I've made his face a squarer and eyes smaller, and made his hair more spongey I hope this made him look less Mako-ish?

-editedit- He still looks like Mako!? I got so confused and googled stuff and found Konietzko's sketch of Iroh images5.fanpop.com/image/photo... ... Is it just me or is his face much thinner and Mako-ish here compared to the cartoon screenshots? Which should I refer to! *A* Seriously guys, please tell me constructive stuff. If I drew Iroh in his uniform, would it be an immediate Iroh? Be honest with yourself! I hope people aren't just judging based on clothes >.>

I couldn't imagine Iroh II becoming even more attractive, but I was wrong He really looks lovely and refined here, I especially like his broad frame and formal disposition. I don't understand how people are confusing him with Mako, he is very clearly drawn in his stylistic manner and that hair is just perfectly elegant! Beautiful work and setting, I really enjoyed this piece

At first glance I thought it was Mako, but after I read the Artist's Comments and really looked he does look like Iroh. XD Oh and LMAO at your "It's Broh if you squint?" I'm cracking up. anyway GREAT ARTWORK

This entire scene is just so comforting...lovely, rich colors and interaction on a gorgeous day~ I really like the soft colors used and such nice, realistic style being utilized, especially that impressive shading and amazing porportions! Their hands are great but their hair gets me, well...to be honest, mainly Iroh II He looks so handsome, you did justice to this wonderful character!

No he does not appear like Mako at all! I think most people are just not paying attention or can't figure out that you can draw characters without their typical clothing.

You specified him clearly-first, his posture is a dead give away he is not Mako for it is regal and denotes a militaristic background and secondly, his hair and age definately separate him from the younger Bolin. You did splendid and I really like Iroh II's face shape and that fancy hair! I truly hope you will continue to draw him

o.o I knew right away it was Iroh and not Mako. For starters, Mako doesn't part his hair like that...also his features are sharper and more angular. That and I just can't see Mako sitting and drinking tea like that...that's obviously a man taking after his namesake.

I was actually comfused that people thought it was Mako because of his clothes! They're fire nation-y not republic city like. but I finally found this picture on DA and I love it! Now I shall check out the fic in the description.

Ignore the people who say it looks like Mako, this General Iroh! Not Mako, and it doesn't look like Mako either. Grr. *pushes Mako in a well for stealing everything that Bolin wants and making me like and hate him at the same time*

Can you teach me how to make drawings/artwork like this? This is brilliant!!!! Gah! I can't get over this, I'm like, fawning over this and just staring at it grinning like a bafoon. I have talent, but not like this! Be my mentor!!! What program/whatever did you use to make this?

Come on!!!!! This is beyond brilliant, I don't think words can even convey or do justice to the fabulousness (that's a word right?) of this! Great job!

Thank youuu I'm so glad you don't think he looks like Mako! And I'm glad you like the picture it's not really something one can teach, it's just really all about practise |D which kinda sucks at the same time...Thank you so much for your comment

I don't know what people were telling you before I came along or even the way the image originally looked, but I could tell that this was Iroh the second I looked at it. I think you did a great job, his age comes across perfectly to me. I really like this piece of work, I wouldn't have thought it was a fanart based off a scene from a yaoi-ship fanfic. I thought it was a nice scene of maybe Iroh trying to get along with the younger boys, this is just an a moment him and Bolin share. I would think Mako would be jealous and reluctant. lol

Thank you so much! I'm so glad you see Iroh instead of Mako! xD And yes, I really liked how the fanfic was set out with how it's nicely Broh without being 'too' Broh xD and tried to do the same with the image... I'm glad you like the picture!
